Sams POV:
After what seemed like a decade it's finally tomorrow I was getting ready when my phone lit up
"Hey it's Charles Lee from work" I blushed hard "what's ur address? What time do you want me to pick you up?"
I responded with "it's 1234567 Miranda street, and whatever time works for you..."
"Ok cool see you in........ half an hour?" Lee responded
"That works for me!" I said getting really excited
"See you then!" I squealed with excitement and finished getting ready.

Charles POV:

My hands were shaking as I messaged Sam, I can't believe he agreed to dinner and going to the park. I had a plaid button up shirt and dark blue jeans. Those were the nicest clothes I owned. I combed my hair to the left side of my face making it as neat as possible. Everything I did, I did extra carefully today. I got in my red pick up and looked at his address again "Miranda street," I thought before I drove off, I never had to use GPS I'd lived here all my life. It's a small town and I know it like the back of my hand. I drove up to his house and nervously got out and walked to the door it was a small house that looked like it's neighbor, which looked like it's neighbor and so on. The houses were so close together I was almost claustrophobic. I lived on the outskirts. I walked up and knocked on the door. Maybe 10 seconds later, Samuel opened the door "you look good." I said looking down
"You as well!" Samuel said he was so cute , I'm pretty sure I turned bright red.
We walked out to my truck. I opened the door for him then I walked to my side and got in.

Samuel POV:

When he opened the door for me I could feel my face getting hot. He got in and we started off to work
"T-thanks for the ride." I said smiling
"No problem! Where do you want to go for dinner?" Lee said smiling
"I dunno, I haven't lived here for long."
Lee smiled "I know the perfect place!" I smiled and I'm pretty sure I was blushing.

When we got to work, the boss told us that we had different things today and we wouldn't be working together. I was disappointed, but we spent lunch together and saw each other a few times through out the store. During lunch, Charles said to meet him in the break room after work.

TIME SKIP

Charles POV:

After work I was pacing in the break room nervously messing with my hair. What if he doesn't like me like that? I straightened my shirt and picked and prodded at my face, hair, and outfit.
"Hey!" I looked over my shoulder toward where the voice came from and saw Sam, I could feel myself blushing.
"H-Hey, Sam!" I smiled at him "shall we?" I said opening the door for him. He laughed. It was the cutest laugh I've ever heard. We got in my truck.
"Where are we going?" Sam giggled cutely
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise!" I smiled back "do you trust me?"
"Y-Yah I guess" Sam said with a bit of hesitation
"Close your eyes! I'm taking you to the best gourmet in town!" I smiled at him he smiled and closed.

Sam POV:

I closed my eyes. I could feel the car turning and shifting. Lee and I talked about small things in life, talking to Charles was so easy.
"Are we there yet?" I asked
"Just about..." Lee responded with Excitement in his voice "go ahead!" I squinted as my eyes adjusted to the light I saw a sign that read "Dairy Queen" I laughed "Yes" Lee opened the door for me like a gentleman. We ordered and he paid. "What a gentleman" I thought. We sat down and started eating.
"So, why did you move here?" Lee asked "It definitely wasn't for the amazing job opportunities." Lee chuckled
"Um, I just got tired of living in big cities, also there was a bad relationship I couldn't be in anymore." I looked down.
"I'm real sorry, I've never really dated, but I've had toxic relationships, they suck." Lee said softly.
"I would think the world would be flirting with you!" I giggled flirtatiously
"Nope!" Charles said leaning back into his chair he chuckles. He crumpled the paper that had been wrapped his burger "Hey, Sam, do you think I can make it in that trash can?" He pointed to one on the other side of the restaurant.
"What no!" I giggled
"Me neither" he laughed proceeding to throw it. I watched as it missed and hit someone in the back of the head. He turned back around and laughed
"Charles!" I whispered
"Nothing happened" he laughed
"Perhaps we should go?" I suggested
"Yes, lets go." Charles said getting up. I hadn't seen this Charles at work, at work he was cool and dead inside. But he was so funny outside work which only made him more attractive.

Charles POV:

We got out of there before the women could see I was the one who threw it. I opened the car door for Sam. As we were driving I wanted to make a move. But how? What move?
"Are you ok?" Sam asked
"Oh yah totally!" I said
"Ok" Sam said hesitant. We pulled up to his house. We got out and I walked with him to his front door.
"Well, see you tomorrow!" He said
"Yah" I rubbed the back of my neck nervously. I knew it now or never. Before I knew what I was doing I felt his lips against mine. This was the movie. I gently pulled away.
"S-see you t-tomorrow." I rubbed the back of my neck and walked off to my car.
"Sleep well!" I yelled before driving off. What did I just do?

Sam POV:

C-Charles just kissed me. I walked inside and squealed. Maybe I should text him. I pulled out my phone "Hey" I wrote and sent I saw text bubbles.
